Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local grocery stores. Look for bacon in the meat section, canned corn in the pantry aisle, and fresh produce for the onion. Requeijão cremoso, a Brazilian cream cheese, is typically found in the dairy section; if unavailable, a thick, full-fat cream cheese can serve as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Fry the diced bacon in a skillet until it turns golden brown and crispy
- Remove the bacon from the pan, set it aside, and discard the excess fat
- In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion briefly until it becomes translucent
- Add the drained corn to the skillet with the onion and stir well
- Incorporate the requeijão cremoso into the corn and onion mixture
- Add the reserved crispy bacon back into the pan
- Stir all ingredients together until you achieve a firm and uniform consistency
- Allow the filling to cool completely before using it to stuff your pastéis
